Dr. Janet Guss is an NIH postdoctoral research fellow at the Obesity Research Center. She completed her doctoral dissertation under the mentorship of Drs. Kissileff, Walsh, and Contento. The focus of her doctoral thesis, for which she received an NIH pre-doctoral fellowship award, examined satiety disturbances associated with the eating disorder Bulimia Nervosa. As a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Guss continues her investigation of abnormal feeding behavior among patients with eating disorders. Her most recent work focused on the relationship between rates of ingestion and meal size. She continues her training with Drs. B.T. Walsh and H.R. Kissileff of Columbia’s Department of Psychiatry, following-up on her doctoral research by testing whether patients with Bulimia Nervosa are sensitive to the feeding-inhibitory effects of the satiety hormone cholecystokinin.
